If you, or any of your students, have questions, please contact Mark Wagner at 406-732-7757 or by email at mark_wagner@nps.gov. For more information on Glacier National Park, visit www.nps.gov/glac.

The Park

Glacier National Park, located in
northwest Montana, makes up the core of
the Crown of the Continent ecosystem.
Old-growth forests, wind-swept prairies,
ancient glaciers, and deep lakes are all part
of this spectacular mountain landscape.
Plants and animals of the humid Pacific
Northwest meet and mingle with those of
the Great Plains and northern forests. In
the space of a few miles, visitors can travel
from lush cedar-hemlock forests through
alpine meadows to the edge of the western
prairies. With over 700 miles of trails, the
park is a hiker's paradise. Glacier National
Park has nearly the same complete
complement of wildlife as when it was
established in 1910.

The Position

Park Interpreters are the public face of Glacier National Park. Interns in the Division
of Interpretation are responsible for researching, preparing and presenting programs like guided walks and hikes, interpretive talks, boat tours, and illustrated programs on the park's interpretive themes (wildlife, geology, ecology, human history, climate change, etc). These programs are given in a diversity of park locations including campgrounds, trails, visitor centers, historic boats, and historic park hotels. Interns staff visitor centers and provide information and informal interpretation to visitors during fixed station and roving assignments. Interns receive 80 hours of formal training in interpretive skills, customer service, bear awareness and safety, and natural and cultural resources; plus 40 hours of on- the-job training in presenting interpretive programs and park operations. Additional training and professional development opportunities may also be available. If you love learning, sharing what you’ve learned with others, and working hard in a team environment, these positions are incredibly rewarding.
